Hi Shareef,

The flow of activation oVirt is more complex than a plain KVM.
Mounting of the domains happen during the activation of the node  ( the HostedEngine is activating everything needed).

Focus on the HostedEngine VM.
Is it running properly ?

If not,try:
1. Verify that the storage domain exists
2. Check if  it has 'ha_agents' directory
3. Check if the links are  OK, if not you can safely remove the links

4. Next check the services are running:
A) sanlock
B) supervdsmd
C) vdsmd
D) libvirtd

5. Increase the log level for broker  and agent services:

cd  /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha
vim *-log.conf

systemctl restart ovirt-ha-broker ovirt-ha-agent

6. Check what they are complaining about
Keep in mind that agent will keep throwing errors  untill the broker stops doing it (agent depends  on broker),  so broker must be OK before peoceeding with the agent log.

About the manual VM start, you need  2 things:

1.  Define the VM network
# cat vdsm-ovirtmgmt.xml <network>
  <name>vdsm-ovirtmgmt</name>
  <uuid>8ded486e-e681-4754-af4b-5737c2b05405</uuid>
  <forward mode='bridge'/>
  <bridge name='ovirtmgmt'/>
</network>

[root@ovirt1 HostedEngine-RECOVERY]# virsh define vdsm-ovirtmgmt.xml

2. Get an xml definition which can be found in the vdsm log. Every VM at start up has it's configuration printed out  in vdsm log  on the host it starts.
Save to file and then:
A) virsh define myvm.xml
B) virsh start myvm

It seems there is/was a problem with your NFS shares.

Strahil Nikolov
